Good day to open ioamo.wordpress.com!
(Io amo means I love in Italian)
I am really a fan of wordpress in general and wordpress.com in particular.
Google is making great things with blogger.com (in the beta version) but I think that wordpress remain the leading platform for every serious blogger.
I totally approve the Kiss Principle philosophy that leads every wordpress.com evolution.
Thanks guys

Here is our podcast for Thursday, August 17th, 2006. Today we cover YouTube’s brief unplanned outage, WordPress.com’s 1st birthday, A Delicious redesign, and IAC’s latest purchase.
For those of you that want a separate feed for our p…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the combined forces of Flock and Slashdot/Digg had quite a bit to do with the mass January signups.

Flock had a lot of integration with wordpress.com, and for a while you got a free key into the beta if you simply accessed the site using it. That’s how I got here, anyway. After reading the Slashdot article about it, of course.😉

And lo, I compared it to Blogger and found template customization was lacking. But I started using it anyway because Blogger didn’t support trackbacks…

Happy Birthday…and may i add good show dudes!
Looking forward to more features, e.g. more photo-hosting! This is one area where Blogger beats you hands down.
It should be possible to have graded wordpress accounts, i.e. a free version on lines of the current one, and a bells-and-whistles paid upgrade.

Wow. I thought you guys were much older. I meen in terms of the WordPress. It has so much power and is the best blogging service I could think of. Thanks for keep on developing and adjusting for us. It’s just great.

WordPress (the baby & the proud parents)🙂 many many happy returns of the day.
On your Birth day, I started this blog http://wordpresstour.wordpress.com …which is to take a tour to all the wordpress blogs as I can and say them hi and introduce them to the community.
In a year you have grown to 308,000 and by the time I complete few hundred blog visit, you would have grown to 1000,000🙂 You prosper, we are happy.

Hey, everybody, Happy Birthday. I think I joined WordPress on February 14th, 2006…had no idea I was becoming part of a newly founded entity. Love it here. Love WordPress, all its services and the many friends I have made here.

I thought it was a little bit older than just a year. I’ve been here for six months. If I was still at Blogger, I don’t think I would still have my blog. That’s how horrible it was there. Save me a piece of that cake!

Remember the song “Just the way you are.” by Billy Joel. This is for you:
“Don’t go changing, to try and please me, You never let me down before,…
Don’t go trying, some new fashion,Don’t change the colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,Although I might not seem to care.”

I will change it a bit this way:

Go on changing, to try and please me, You never let me down before,….
Go on trying, some new fashion, Go change the colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion, Although I might not seem to care.”
